[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is described in detail.

[0029] The utility model embodiment provides a blanking reflow production line, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the unloading and reflow production line includes a conveying mechanism 1 (only a portion is shown in the figure), a lifting mechanism 2 and a frame 3; the conveying mechanism 1 includes a forward conveying mechanism 11 and a reflux conveying mechanism 12, and the reflux conveying mechanism 12 is arranged below the forward conveying mechanism 11; the frame 3 is located at the end of the conveying mechanism 1, and the side of the frame 3 close to the conveying mechanism 1 is provided with an inlet and outlet opening 31 that is connected to the conveying mechanism 1, and the side away from the conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a discharge port 32.

[0030] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a lifting component 21 and a transport platform 22. The lifting component 21 is installed in the frame 3, and the transport platform 22 is installed on the lifting component 21; the lifting component 21 drives the transport platform 22 to rise to connect with the forward conveying mechanism 11 and the discharge port 32, and drives the transport platform 22 to descend to connect with the reflux conveying mechanism 12.

[0031] The unloading and reflow production line of the utility model is provided with a frame 3 at the end of the conveying mechanism 1, and the lifting mechanism 2 is installed in the frame 3, and the side of the frame 3 close to the conveying mechanism 1 is provided with an inlet and outlet opening 31 that docks with the conveying mechanism 1, and the side away from the conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a discharge port 32. Driven by the lifting component 21, the transport platform 22 rises and docks with the forward conveying mechanism 11 and the discharge port 32, so that the product on the forward conveying mechanism 11, such as the battery module, can be unloaded through the discharge port 32 by the transport platform 22, without the need for a manipulator or a traveling crane to unload. After unloading is completed, the jig of the product is put back to the transport platform 22. Driven by the lifting component 21, the transport platform 22 descends and docks with the reflow conveying mechanism 12, so that the jig can be transported to the reflow conveying mechanism 12 by the transport platform 22, and the jig is transported back to the head end of the conveying mechanism 1 by the reflow conveying mechanism 12 for reuse. Therefore, the material unloading and reflow production line equipment of the present invention has low cost, and materials can be unloaded through the transport platform 22 and the discharge port 32, avoiding manual unloading, reducing safety risks, and improving production efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the transmission structure of the forward conveying mechanism 11 and the reflux conveying mechanism 12 can be conventional transmission structures such as a double-speed chain and a conveyor belt, which will not be described in detail here. Regarding the transportation mode of the transport platform 22, the transport platform 22 can be driven in the direction of the discharge port 32 or in the direction of the conveying mechanism 1, thereby realizing the unloading drive of the product and the reflux drive of the fixture. The unloading and reflux production line of the utility model can be used, for example, in the production of battery module products. The unloading and reflux production line can also be equipped with a manipulator or a traveling crane. At this time, it has a variety of unloading methods to avoid manual unloading when the manipulator or the traveling crane fails; it can also be used alone without a manipulator or a traveling crane to reduce equipment costs.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the unloading and reflow production line also includes an unloading cart 4, which is used to dock with the discharge port 32 and receive the unloading of the transport platform 22. When unloading the product, the unloading cart 4 is first docked with the discharge port 32, and the product is directly unloaded from the transport platform 22 to the unloading cart 4. The unloading cart 4 transports the product away, and the transportation after unloading is convenient and fast. The bottom of the unloading cart 4 has a pulley for the operator to push. Specifically, the product is unloaded from the forward conveying mechanism 11 through the transport platform 22 to the unloading cart 4, and can be directly transported to the next destination. This process adds a link that can be directly transported in the internal logistics, saves time, and reduces the demand for other equipment (such as forklifts). The process of transferring the product from the transport platform 22 to the unloading cart 4 can be fully automated, reducing the need for manual handling, which not only helps to reduce labor costs, but also reduces the risks caused by human operating errors or accidents.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, a holding groove 41 is provided on the table top of the unloading cart 4, and an opening 411 is provided on one side of the holding groove 41 to dock with the discharge port 32. The provision of the holding groove 41 enables the unloading cart 4 to receive and store unloading products more safely and effectively. At the same time, the design of the opening 411 docking with the discharge port 32 also improves the coordination efficiency between equipment. Specifically, the holding groove 41 can provide a safe receiving and storage area for the products conveyed from the discharge port 32. With the help of the holding groove 41, the products can be directly slid into the cart from the discharge port 32 and properly stored without the need for additional stabilization and positioning processes, thereby preventing the product from slipping during the unloading process, thereby improving the overall equipment safety. Specifically, as Figure 6 As shown, a sliding support member 42 is further provided in the containing groove 41 , and a rolling steel ball 421 with its top exposed and capable of rolling in the inner cavity is provided in the inner cavity of the sliding support member 42 .

[0035] The product can slide into the holding groove 41 more smoothly with the help of the sliding support 42. The function of the rolling steel ball 421 is to reduce the dynamic friction, so that the product can slide into the holding groove 41 easily, further saving time and improving efficiency. Due to the existence of the rolling steel ball 421, the direct friction between the product and the holding groove 41 can also be reduced, which plays a role in protecting the product. The holding groove 41 can also be gradually tilted downward from the side of the opening 411 to the side away from the opening 411, so that the product can slide into the holding groove 41.

[0036] Replay Figure 4As shown, a discharging detection sensor 33 is provided at the discharging port 32, and the discharging detection sensor 33 is used to detect whether the discharging of the discharging port 32 is completed. The discharging detection sensor 33 can be a photoelectric sensor. When the product is discharged from the discharging port 32, the discharging detection sensor 33 will be blocked. When the product completely passes through the discharging port 32, the blocking of the discharging detection sensor 33 disappears, so that the discharging detection sensor 33 can detect that the discharging of the discharging port 32 has been completed. After the discharging is completed, the transport platform 22 can be controlled to stop transportation. Specifically, a control panel 38 is installed on the side of the discharging port 32 on the frame 3, and a discharging button is provided on the control panel 38. When the discharging button is pressed, the transport platform 22 moves and drives toward the discharging port 32, and the product on it is transferred from the discharging port 32 to the unloading cart 4. After the photoelectric sensor detects that the discharging of the discharging port 32 has been completed, the transport platform 22 stops driving.

[0037] Replay Figure 3 As shown, a jig detection sensor 34 is provided on one side of the transport platform 22 close to the inlet and outlet opening 31, and the jig detection sensor 34 is used to detect whether the jig is moved from the discharge port 32 to the transport platform 22. The jig detection sensor 34 may be a photoelectric sensor. When the product is unloaded onto the unloading cart 4, the jig is unloaded along with the product. After the product is transferred, the jig is cleaned on the unloading cart 4 and pushed back into the transport platform 22, and the transport platform 22 drives the jig to move completely onto the transport platform 22. When the jig moves to the side of the transport platform 22 close to the inlet and outlet opening 31, the jig detection sensor 34 is blocked, and the jig detection sensor 34 can thereby detect that the jig is moved from the discharge port 32 to the transport platform 22. At this time, the transport platform 22 can be controlled to stop transporting. Specifically, a feed button is provided on the control panel 38. When the feed button is pressed, the transport platform 22 moves and drives toward the inlet and outlet opening 31, driving the jig onto the transport platform 22. When the jig detection sensor 34 detects that the jig has moved to the transport platform 22, the transport platform 22 stops driving. Then the lifting mechanism 2 descends to dock with the reflux conveying mechanism 12, and the jig is refluxed to the head end of the conveying mechanism 1 through the reflux conveying mechanism 12.

[0038] There are two groups of lifting components 21, which are respectively installed on both sides of the frame 3; each group of lifting components 21 includes a lifting drive 211 and two guide rods 212, the output end of the lifting drive 211 is connected to the side of the transport platform 22, and the two guide rods 212 are respectively located on both sides of the lifting drive 211 and are movably connected to the side of the transport platform 22. The two guide rods 212 are respectively located on both sides of the lifting drive 211 to ensure the lifting stability of the transport platform 22. The lifting drive 211 provides the lifting driving power for the transport platform 22. The configuration of the lifting drive 211 and the guide rods 212 on both sides also enables the transport platform 22 to maintain a better balance during the lifting process, thereby improving the stability and safety of the lifting process. The lifting drive 211 can be a cylinder, etc.

[0039] Specifically, further combining Figure 7 As shown, two sleeve sliders 221a1 are arranged on the side of the transport platform 22, and the two sleeve sliders 221a1 are respectively movably sleeved on the two guide rods 212. Through the cooperation of the sleeve sliders 221a1 and the guide rods 212, the transport platform 22 can be stably lifted and lowered.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, a blocking cylinder 35 is provided at the discharge port 32, and the blocking cylinder 35 is used to block the product on the transport platform 22. When the product moves from the forward conveying mechanism 11 to the transport platform 22, the blocking cylinder 35 is in a raised state, which can block the product and allow the product to temporarily stay on the transport platform 22, so that the timing of unloading can be controlled to avoid the situation where there is no operator at the discharge port 32 or the unloading cart 4 is not ready. The lifting and lowering of the blocking cylinder 35 can be controlled by the control panel 38, and conventional cylinder control can be used, which will not be repeated here.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the transport platform 22 includes a base frame 221 and two groups of transmission components 222; the two groups of transmission components 222 are relatively arranged on both sides of the base frame 221, and the base frame 221 is provided with side plates 221a on both sides, and the sleeve slider 221a1 is arranged on the outer side of the side plate 221a, and the output end of the lifting drive member 211 is connected to the outer side of the side plate 221a. The setting of the side plate 221a facilitates the connection between the lifting drive member 211 and the base frame 221. Each group of transmission components 222 includes a transmission chain 222a and a driving component 222b, and the driving component 222b is connected to the transmission chain 222a and drives the transmission chain 222a to rotate. The driving assembly 222b includes a driving motor (not shown) and a gear 222b1. The transmission chain 222a is connected end to end. The gear 222b1 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 221 at the ends of the transmission chain 222a. The ends of the transmission chain 222a are sleeved on the gear 222b1 and meshed with the gear 222b1. The output end of the driving motor is connected to the gear 222b1. The driving gear is driven forward and reversely by the forward and reverse drive of the driving motor, thereby driving the transmission chain 222a to drive, so that the transmission chain 222a can be driven toward the discharge port 32 or the conveying mechanism 1, thereby realizing the unloading drive of the product and the reflux drive of the jig to the reflux conveying mechanism 12. The transmission chain 222a can be a double-speed chain. Of course. The transmission assembly 222 can also be a conventional transmission structure such as a transmission belt, which will not be repeated here.

[0042] The base frame 221 is also provided with an in-position sensor 221b which can swing toward the direction of the inlet and outlet opening 31 and the outlet 32 ​​and can be elastically reset. When the product is transported from the forward transmission mechanism to the transport platform 22, the sensor will be pushed to rotate, thereby generating a detection signal to detect that the product is in position. According to the detection signal, the transport platform 22 can be controlled to stop driving and other control actions so that the operator can calmly perform the next operation, such as preparing the unloading cart 4.

[0043] The discharge port 32 is provided with a door panel 36 that can be opened and closed, and the two sides of the discharge port 32 are connected to the two sides of the door panel 36 through hydraulic rods 37, so that the door panel 36 can be opened upward. The door panel 36 that can be opened and closed can open or close the discharge port 32. The hydraulic rod 37 can stably support the door panel 36.
